Derwent Lightfast coloured pencil available in a huge range of rich, vibrant colours. Professional quality pencils, each of which has attained a lightfast level of either LF1 or LF2, which means that they are considered fully compliant with the ASTM 6901 and Blue Wool Scale ISO 105 standards.

The oil-based core is resistant to prolonged colour change, ensuring museum-stored artwork stays as vivid after 100 years as it did when it was first created. The smooth, creamy laydown of opaque colour is compatible with oil mediums, and produces a paint-like effect when dissolved.

Strong point for ease of sharpening; ideal for detailed drawings. Round wood casing with a light lacquer. End-dipped with the core colour and stamped with 'Made in Britain' and 'Derwent Lightfast'.

Availability of New Colours: Derwent added an extra 28 colours in June, but availability was very limited. Once these new colours are sold out, Derwent expect to have more available in September. If a colour is missing from the list, it's not currently available, but should return then. Sorry!
